Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality research on the biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology and toxicology of amino acids and related compounds in health and disease.
This Special Issue focuses on a wide range of topics related to the mechanisms of action of amino acids, including their biosynthesis, metabolism, transport, signaling and functions in the body. Papers on the applications and uses of antioxidant and non-antioxidant mechanisms of amino acids for disease treatment and prevention, homeostatic mechanisms, and adaptive responses and capabilities in animals and humans will be welcomed. We invite you to present various aspects directly discussing the issues related to amino acids and their derivatives.
The aim of the issue is to publish research that advances our understanding of the biological and physiological roles of amino acids in humans and animals, as well as in plants and microbes. This Special Issue describes the roles and functions of amino acids and peptides in nutrition, health and disease, and drug discovery and development. Please consider amino acid metabolism, neurotransmission and signaling by amino acids and related compounds, as well as therapeutic applications of amino acids in neurology, immunology, oncology, metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. We welcome both full-length and short original research papers, hypothesis papers, reviews, etc.
Prof. Dr. Natalia Kurhaluk

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
